Now that Ezra is unemployed, Ian says that he’ll be scraping by in the job market. “He’s looking to do anything, truly,” says Ian. He teases that an upcoming odd job will lead to Ezra spending time with another character on the show, most likely an unusual character for Ezra to be hanging out with. He says, “It’s going to be good. It’s going to be a fun time.”

While Ian assures Ezria fans that Ezra “feels very good about his decision to make it known that I love this girl,” we know from spoilers that we’ll be meeting Ezra’s mother, who will be a socialite type. We’ll also be meeting his father, though Ian said he hasn’t met either actor yet. But with his family life explored, there is “one particular secret that may be in play,” according to THR.

“I’ve been chatting with the writers about possibilities of [what we’ll learn about Ezra],” says Ian. “And in fact there is one [secret] that’s kind of on the table right now that is pretty interesting. You see a different side of him. Ezra’s got some skeletons in the closet.”

Oh no! Ian tells us not to worry, “It’s not like he’s selling crack or anything.” But how can we not worry for our star-crossed lovers? What do you think Ezra’s secret could be?
